I agree here - someone that you could still politely disagree with.
He wasn't really someone that was able to "sell" himself as becoming a president, he more had the appearance of an accountant. But he did a decent job in the office.
That's not the worst with the YT algorithm - the worst is that it suggests videos I already watched like a year ago. Only a rare few of them are worth watching again.
DST changes are just a headache, but when you run a computer system then you shall always make sure that timestamps are stored in a "neutral" way by using UTC. What's presented to the user is just a presentation issue in the UI. That's why when coding I always use things like the Unix timestamp or something similar and use a 64 bit integer to be safe. A resolution of milliseconds is usually good enough for the majority of systems.
Add to it all the ads that are spamming users all the time. The use of computers isn't fun anymore. Add to it that development tools and operating systems now rarely allows you to explore the limits of your computer that you could do in the old days - do things that the computer manufacturer didn't even imagine.
Imagine the things that could be done in the Management Engine if access to it was possible for everyone.
The problem is still that you have to get someone that can care for the code. It's a common problem - hire someone to do a specific job and then when that person leaves there's just something that works, but it happens to block upgrades also for other applications.
Just come out to the reality and see - the world is full of small solutions that happens to be blocking upgrades of larger application suites. And the management of the companies don't want to upgrade "because it works" and that they don't want to spend money on "unnecessary upgrades", sometimes so that they can raise the share values or get a new car.
Then you need to find a programmer that can understand how to fix that. It's often the case that the person who wrote it has exited the company a long time ago.
That's why breaking backwards compatibility is bad, especially on script based languages.
It might be, but the major reason for people not upgrading is that there are breaking changes between the major versions of php.
So you can't just drop in a new version because then something on your server breaks. And anyone that knows that piece of code has long ago left for greener pastures. It's usually some medium sized package that just do the job and is key for the business.
Php is also a headache from a test perspective since you don't find the broken stuff until you try to access it. Some of it may only be accessed once per year and only during new year break by an automatic script.
Things like that makes me dislike script based solutions.

Why is there an "insightful" mod and why isn't it "-1"? If I wanted insight, I wouldn't be reading /.
And why isn't there a "+1" Troll alternative too? :)
Add to it the typo in the article. 4x1084 - that's not many photons, should be 4x10^84.
Maybe Slashdot trimmed off the "sup" html tag though.
I agree here. I would like to abolish UPnP entirely and ban it.
In addition to that also kick the inventor in the nuts.
Potatoes already made it in Star Wars.
I suspect that the chance is small, and it definitely had a good run.
Add to it that smoke is a lot easier to detect and hard to explain when you use it.
Easier to get away with chewing that shit instead though.
I agree - and sometimes I'd like to have a "+10 Troll" moderation just because it's so straightforward true but offending for those that suffers.
The only way to use UPnP - turn it off! It's a security hole the size of Grand Canyon.
I found his appearances in the movies quite amusing and that will truly be missed.
I hope that his creations and legacy lives on in his spirit. I think that's the important part - never forget the spirit of the characters.

You missed to post a video of the reaction of people seeing that!
Put a bootable CD with some other OS into the CD drive was the latest thing I did. It was a CD with AROS.

That's advanced evil.
An old classic is to do a print screen and then move away all desktop icons and put the captured image as the desktop image.
It would be really confusing until they realize what happened. But with the start button it's not that easy.
A lot of the common prank programs were also listed as annoyances by anti-virus softwares.
Don't SMIT me again!
How about a gearbox replacement to a more robust one that don't break down just because you don't nurse it?
Maybe they already have it, that's why they don't talk so much.
Just look at Kimi to see the proof of this article.
He's famous for his lack of small talk, especially with reporters.

Considering all the headaches that php gives I wouldn't use anything that is based on php.
